Massive Trove of Ancient Coins Found in Japan

In an excavation at the Sosha Village East 03 archaeological site in Maebashi City, Japan, archaeologists stumbled upon a remarkable discovery – a cache of over 100,000 ancient coins, some of which are of Chinese origin and are more than 2,000 years old.

This excavation was prompted by the construction of a new factory in Sojamachi district here at the area.

These coins include the “Ban Liang,”(coin from 175 B.C.) China’s first unified currency, as well as others dating from the seventh to the thirteenth centuries. What’s more, they were bundled in groups of around 100 coins and secured with straw cords known as “sashi.”

The coins were probably buried quickly because the location was close to opulent homes belonging to influential people in medieval Japan, maybe as a precaution against impending war.

The unearthed coins were found in an area approximately 60 centimeters high and one meter wide, with a staggering 1,060 bundles of these sashi clusters. Some bundles contained evidence of 10 sashi, equivalent to roughly a thousand coins, all arranged with traces of rice straw mats.

A thorough examination of 334 coins from the haul revealed an astounding variety of 44 different currency types. These coins originated from as far back as China’s Western Han Dynasty, extending to the Southern Song Dynasty.

The oldest among them, the “Ban Liang,” dates back to 175 B.C., with distinct characteristics including a 2.3-centimeter diameter, a 7-millimeter square hole in the center, and a thickness of 1 millimeter, featuring the inscriptions “liang” on the left and “ban” on the right.

The most recent coin in this treasure trove was minted in 1265 during the Southern Song Dynasty, leading experts to believe that these coins were hidden during the turbulent Kamakura period (1185-1333). It should be noted that the dating results are preliminary and may be refined through additional research.

The archaeological site is part of an area encompassing approximately one kilometer, including the Sosha burial mounds, the San’o Temple Ruins, and the Ueno Kokubunji Temple, indicating the region’s prominence as a center of activity from the late Kofun period to the Ritsuryo period.

The extraordinary artifacts from the Sosha Village East 03 site are currently on display at the “Newly Excavated Cultural Artifacts Exhibition 2023” in Maebashi City’s Otemachi district, which is open to the public until the 12th of this month. The event is free to attend.

Satsuma's Wrath: A team made up entirely of brothers, each of whom are successful in their own respective areas. Whether it is leadership, strength, charisma, or smarts, there is no place where these young men born out of an ancestral line do not shine. And though you'd think that with so many teams (possibly) gunning for them in the D.R.B., they'd be worried, you'd be wrong. Why? Because much like their ancestors, there is nothing these men like better than to have the deck stacked against them! Chesto!

Sleight of Hand: 'Now you see them... now you don't!' These three "magicians" make a living by entertaining the masses with their "magic tricks". Truthfully, though they call themselves "magicians", they are actually just thieves using their innate talents and skills to rob easy marks of their wealth. Whilst one entertains the crowd, the other two are busy lining the team's pockets. If you wish to find out how they do it, come to one of their shows and try to find out the trick! Just don't be surprised if your wallet feels strangely lighter by the time the performance is over...

Soul Sister: Growing up on a ranch that their father owns, these three sisters know almost all there is to know about farm animals, which they've taken care of their whole lives. But what they're really known for is their wine, Âme Sœur, which they've taken, perfected, and has made them famous amongst wine drinkers all across the world. But while having a brand name is all well and good, what these three women really want to be known for are their rap skills!

Sounds of Silence: You ever heard of the phrase, 'silence is golden'? Well for these three, that advice rings true. Hailing from various countries, these three secret agents have recently arrived in Japan. The threat of Chuohku has grown so much that other countries in the world are starting to become worried about the threat they present. And if another World War is looming in the distance, then it is absolutely imperative that it be stopped before it can start! Therefore, three countries have made a temporary alliance and have sent their best agents to Japan with one goal: find out what Chuohku is up to, and put a stop to it at all costs!

群馬県

Japanese Prefectures: Kantō - Gunma

都道府県 (とどうふけん) - Prefectures of Japan

Learning the kanji and a little bit about each of Japan’s 47 prefectures!

Kanji・漢字

群　む(れる)、むら、グン　flock, group, crowd, herd, swarm, cluster

馬　うま、ま、バ　horse

県　ケン　prefecture

関東　かんとう　Kanto, region consisting of Tokyo and surrounding prefectures

Prefectural Capital (県庁所在地) : Maebashi (前橋市)

The ancient province of Gunma was a center of horse breeding and trading activities, and thus the character for horse is one of the kanji in the prefecture's name. The horse came to Japan along with the arrival of a large migration of people from the mainland of Asia, and from then on the horse became a vital part of the Japanese military and displaced the older Yayoi tradition of fighting on foot.

One of only eight land-locked prefectures in Japan, Gunma is also very mountainous. Snowy mountains that are prime for winter sports give way to excellent hiking trails in the summer. Gunma has some of the nation's best hot springs and is famous for its daruma dolls, which are good luck charms. Other sports to do in Gunma include canyoning, waterfall sliding, rafting, and bungee jumping.

Recommended Tourist Spot・おすすめ観光スポット Sainokawara Park - 西の河原公園

Sainokawara Park at night

Sainokawara Park is in a valley just outside of the hot spring and ski resort town center of Kusatsu, where several hot spring sources and a large outdoor bath are located. There are walking trails around the upper part of the park that lead through the magnificent natural landscapes. This is the most active hot spring area in Japan, with an output of hot spring water of 1,070 litres per minute. Hot spring water can be seen bubbling to the surface in certain places, where they collect into hot water pools and run down the valley in warm streams before joining the central mountain stream. There is also a hot water waterfall with a free foot bath at the base. The park area is accessible free of charge.

Due to the high temperature of the hot spring waters that flow here, very little can grow in the areas where it collects. It was believed that the spirits of children who died before their parents would be sent to these barren pools. You may come across small stone statues called jizo, that are made in the image of the guardian deity of children and travelers, Jizo Bosatsu. These statues often are wearing red hats and bibs, and are meant to protect the spirits of the children from demons.

The natural pools in the park are not for bathing, but the park also houses the Sainokawara Rotenburo, a large open-air public bath with two gender-separated outdoor hot springs, with a capacity of 100 bathers each. The outdoor bath also offers an evening of mixed bathing every Friday, when the bath is open to everyone, including couples and families.

Yubatake, or Hot Water Field, in Kusatsu

A 10-minute walk from Sainokawara Park is the Yubatake (or "Hot Water Field"). Here in the center of Kusatsu is a field of pumps that removes 32,300 litres of hot water every minute, cools it a few degrees, then sends it off to various local hot springs. The healing waters of the Kusatsu Onsen (hot springs) vary from milky to clear, and sulfurous to acidic, and are said to soothe most of your troubles, except a broken heart.

Regional Cuisine - 郷土料理 Yakimanju - 焼きまんじゅう

Yakimanju (source)

Yakimanju is a popular snack in Gunma Prefecture, but is not well known outside of the prefecture. Yakimanju is a grilled sweet bun. Manju are sweet buns made of rice or wheat flour and commonly are steamed. Yakimanju is grilled after being steamed, giving the outside a crunchy texture rather than the usual fluffy texture. The outside is coated with a sweet mixture of brown sugar, syrup, and miso paste. Unlike manju, which usually has a filling of red bean or other sweet paste, yakimanju typically has no filling.

Yakimanju was invented at the end of the Edo period, about 150 years ago. Wheat was commonly grown in agricultural Gunma, and thus wheat flour was originally used to make the predecessor of yakimanju, called sakamanju. Sakamanju hardened quickly after being made, and so to make it easier to eat, people would grill it and season it with miso paste. And thus yakimanju was developed.
